Among the many experiences and attractions, one thing that always captures the imagination of both kids and adults alike are the enchanting bubble wands and dazzling light-up toys. Much like the souvenir cups of carnivals or the taste of cotton candy from childhood fairs, These whimsical accessories add an extra layer of delight to your modern Disney adventure. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about bubble wands and light-up toys at Disney.
Will Disney replace the batteries on Bubble Wands and Light Up Toys?
Yes! Many Cast Members will replace the batteries. It’s rare that the batteries will run out, but if you bubble maker is not bubbling- it might be the batteries. I typically try to grab a Bubble Maker at the back to ensure the battery lasts the whole trip.
Does Disney provide bubble solution when the Bubble Makers run out?
Yes for a fee. You can purchase Bubble Solution Refills at the shops listed below (including the carts) for 2 dollars.
Can I bring my own Bubble Wand to Disney?
Yes you can! Disney doesn’t have any current restrictions on Bubble Wands, though discretion is advised (no bubblers that look like weapons, or that are excessively large)

Budget Friendly Alternatives
While I’m a big fan of the light up options at Disney World, with three young kids it seems silly to purchase 100 dollars worth of bubble wands that aren’t going to make it through the week (note that the pictures below are from my 30% discount as an annual passholder!)
-Instead you can buy options at Amazon or Target, as they both have bubble wands and light up toys. I have tried several options, and I would avoid the ones with ‘wings’ as those fall off easy, and the ones that are bazooka blasters.
Note: You should test and try any Pre-purchased bubble wands before you pack them for your trip!
-A large pack of glow sticks, with new options for each night, is another great alternative. Amazon has large multi packs of glow sticks that you can preorder or have delivered to your resort.
-Lastly, with younger kids, especially toddlers, it might be in your best interest to just get a simple light up toy. Examples include items you likely already have at home (which is what I did for mine when they were under three!) Light up Skip Hop, Fisher Price, or other small toys or stroller attachments are ideal. Shop toddler light up toys on Target or on Amazon.

- With Anna and Elsa on the Handle, this is the perfect toy for Frozen Fans who don’t want to deal with Bubbles! It has two modes, the spinner mode where it automatically spins (the Snowflake lights up blue, and the middle and bottom flash several colors) OR the manual mode where you press a button to turn the spinner on and off.
